Ok...
Firstly guys its a necessity.This is my 3rd Golf to sport roofbars and my Jeep Wrangler previously too.
I like to get their quickly so that old camper is out of the question.
They dont stay on,its a quick job to remove in fact the MKV bars are quicker than the MKIV's.If you open your front doors you will see a plastic cap.This unscrews and the bars locate in them.The rear in the window recess.
I put either sparkys tape or masking tape on the paintwork before fitting,they do and will mark the paintwork as I found out on the previous GTI and the PD150.
They are a nightmare for AVG MPG.. I just come back from an east coast run.140ish miles £25.. Last year travelling down to Cornwall in the PD I averaged 34mpg.The wrangler was a 4.0ltr.I was averaging 12mpg.From Yorkshire to Cornwall...ouch
Chicks dig the car/boards,run a mile when they see me..

I may stick em on for the RR day...
